Cammadities GROP TOUR

摘要

Back in late 2014,1 was tasked with designing a European crop tour for Thomson Reuters. We wanted to get into the fields and talk with industry participants in key grain regions, and then translate that information into actionable insight for the market.Problems had been reported in Russia since winter grains had been sown into dry soil last fall, and the market was quite concerned that the crop would not recover. Many groups, including US Department of Agriculture (USDA), had not planned to travel to Russia this year, so the demand was particularly high.
